BiafranPatriot:Typical shallow zero IQ chest beating cretin. What has money forfiture got to do with being a drug baron? See how dumb and retar@ded most of you Biaf uro cannibal monkeys are. Post here any official US document showing that the forfiture is as a result of drug trade and any document showing Tinubu being arrested or charged with drug trade. Monkeys like you that have never left your cannibal jungle will just be posting rubbish half truth rubbish online for your fellow gullible zero IQ IPOB retards. Again, I dare you to post any US govt official record showing Tinubu's charges or arrest for anything dealing with drugs. The crazy part is that this neanderthal IPOB cannibal Is more than likely one 9f the many drug mules from the SE of Nigeria but has the effrontery to call someone a drug baron who has no record of drug charges or arrest. These are the kind of low life animals that we have in the SE zoo of Nigeria. Worse than animals. |

ogbonti:Just to correct an error in your post (which has earlier been posted online by some HIGHLY uninformed folks)... Nigerians immigrants and Nigerian-Americans are NOT the most educated immigrants in the United States based on degrees. Yes, among folks of African descent, Nigerians are, BUT overall, Indian immigrants and Indian-Americans with ancestral roots from the Indian subcontinent in Asia numbering over 4 million in the United States alone have by far MORE degrees and higher degrees than Nigerian immigrants. Even many of the tech firms in Silicon Valley and corporate America have far more Indian CEOs than other ethnic groups in the United States. The Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Jewish, etc, are also important demographics with highly educated folks. A lot of the fake news and embellishments of the alleged higher qualifications of Nigerian immigrants comes from bloggers, and equally ignorant YouTubers who just cut and paste. In reality, existing U.S. Census Bureau data does NOT support the false claims of Nigerian immigrants being the ones with the highest degrees. |

Dittodat:Only people with no iota of brain always thinking anyone critical of the mess in the country is an Igbo or IPOB. Profiling people because of the contrary view they share about issue differ every logic. Instead to dwell on the message, you prefer to attack the messenger and profiling them. Dey swear for you people not to think? When was Peter Obi arrested or deported please? Obi was only taken for interrogation because of the claim of identity duplication. See the extract of the news on the same subject matter. "Obi said he was only checked because it appeared his identity was duplicated by someone". https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2023/05/i-was-never-arrested-by-uk-immigration-at-heathrow-airport-peter-obi/amp/ There was an aftermath report on the same incident that the UK apologized to him for the embarrassment according to this news link attached. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.vanguardngr.com/2023/04/uk-apologises-to-peter-obi-for-wrongful-detention/&ved=2ahUKEwiemP2ywpKKAxWrZ0EAHW8iI3IQFnoECCEQAQ&usg=AOvVaw22k0UMmk5NcgDIvWmU26tB Now, let me go down to your level. Let us even believe that Peter Obi was arrested. Please arrested for what and where was he taken to and which court was he taken to in UK and his offence and how was he deported? I think answering all these questions will make more sense and heal ignorance. Read the fact check on the same lie told by daily trust news paper from the link. https://dailytrust.com/fact-check-was-peter-obi-deported-from-uk-as-fani-kayode-claimed/ An extract from the link: "While it was true that Obi was detained and later released according to the statement, it was not true he was deported. Hence, Fani-Kayode’s claim of Obi’s deportation is false". Meanwhile, on the issue of Tinubu's narcotic drug dealing is well detailed and a court record shows how a sum of $460,000 was drawn from his account for forfeiture. This is not a small money even as at that time. If it was genuinely owed by Tinubu, why didn't he appeal to retrieve the money back, if it was his hard earned money? No hard working person that sweated to earn just a $1 will just sheepishly let it go like that without a fight. No body, except insane and nonentity.

ogbonti:@Ogbonti Sure. This Web source link right BELOW is from 2018. There are 2016 sources also based on credible U.S. Census Bureau data debunking that FALSE claim of Nigerian immigrants in the United States being the overall folks with the highest number of first degrees and higher degrees. =>https://africacheck.org/fact-checks/spotchecks/yes-nigerian-americans-do-well-arent-most-successful-ethnic-group-us A second Web source from 2023 debunking the claim of Nigerian immigrants having the most number of degrees in the United States is ALSO right BELOW: =>https://www.premiumtimesng.com/opinion/605425-why-nigerian-and-african-immigrants-are-no-longer-most-successful-in-america-by-caleb-onyeabor.html The Internet has annoyingly become a cesspit of global disinformation with people who should NOT be posting information online doing so with relentless impunity. This is why FACT-CHECKS are very important these days. For instance, I remember for over 21 days nearly 10 years ago, the BBC World Service fell victim to FAKE news through a cloned BBC Website until observant, loyal readers pointed it out to the BBC management and they had to warn their listeners globally while also bringing down the cloned BBC Website. This is why BBC established the "Global Disinformation Team" to expose FAKE news worldwide. I hope this helps. |

IfnobeGod20:Let me step in to clarify somethings here. That 460,000 USD forfeiture was for a backlog of unpaid taxes due to the fact that Bola Tinubu returned to Nigeria and hence worked his way as an oil and gas industry technocrat right up to Senior Management level and retired as the Treasurer of Mobil Nigeria (now ExxonMobil). The legitimate balance of 1.6 million USD in his bank accounts was returned to Bola Tinubu's U.S. bank accounts by the U.S. government in 1993 after the 460,000 USD deductions had been made. A significant number of that money was got from financial market investments. I actually followed that U.S. court case back in 1993, so, the case wasn't a drug forfeiture or a plea-bargain. You have to file your taxes as-and-when-due. The United States of America doesn't spare drug barons. If Tinubu was a drug baron, the very ruthless U.S. judicial system would have kicked him right into jail. Ever since 1993, Bola Tinubu has traveled multiple times yearly to the United States including when he was on exile in Chicago during the brutal military dictatorship and he was the one that was instrumental in giving accomodations to many exiles who were on the list of those to be assassinated by that CRIMINAL military dictator who stole over 4 billion USD into foreign offshore accounts via the Central Bank of Nigeria back in the 1990s till he fortunately died abruptly. Even in 2001, the Legal Department of the United States Embassy in Lagos clearly stated in a Press Release that the then Lagos State Governor Bola Tinubu had NO criminal case in the United States. So, all the recycled stories being pushed about the man online and offline were FAKE stories. [b]I remember watching via satellite television the invasion of Panama by U.S. troops in December 1989 to arrest the military dictator, General Manuel Antonio Noriega of Panama for sponsoring drug trafficking and drug shipments into the United States and nearby countries. In January 1990, Noriega finally surrendered to the U.S. military forces and the DEA flew him right back to the United States to face trial and he was eventually jailed for his crimes! |

Dittodat:See the way you just went embarrassing yourself thinking you are embarrassing BiafranPatriot. You guys should try and be reading, it's never a crime to read and abreast with facts. Here below are the first two pages of the court papers for the forfeiture of the said money in relation to the narcotics case of Tinubu. Item 6 specifically stated thus: "By reason of facts set forth above and the attached affidavit, there is probable cause to believe that the defendant funds represent proceeds of NARCOTICS trafficking and further represent property involved in money laundering in violation of 18 U.S.C 1956 and 1957. The defendant funds are therefore forfeitable to the United States pursuant to 21 U.S.C 881 and 18 U.S.C. 1981". Item 5 gave a vivid narration of when the gang began their operation in 1988 and the name of the ring leader, Adegboyega Mueez Akande. You can read the details in the attached poster of the court papers. Now my bias mind. If truly Tinubu owns the money forfeited legitimately and the court claimed to draw such huge amount from his account. Why didn't he pursue the case and and get back his money. His refusal to pursue the case means in all material sense that the money was truly an illegal one. I hope you will take time and read the attached poster and later apologize to BiafranPatriot for telling lie and also abusing him wrongly.

Konquest:See the way you stepped in and sold dummy to the readers by writing junks of lies upon lies. Why do some of you like lying and changing narrative for nothing. It was the same lie that Festus Keyamo sold to the citizens in 2022 before the presidential tribunal setting in 2023. I am cog sure you extracted this junks from him. Well, for the avoidance of doubt herein attached are the pages 1 and 2 of the court affidavit to the Tinubu's narcotics case. I challenge you to download all the pages as readily available on the net and show me and the rest of the world any portion of the court papers that so referred the forfeiture as tax deduction. I give you 3 days to do this and afterwards I label you assistant devil and an arch liar, if you refused to show up the court paper that said it was tax deduction. I don't know why some of you are so confident at telling lie with all your education and exposure. I spit on all liars spreading fake information on this forum. You even made me to laugh, claiming you want to step in. I thought you stepped in to give concrete revelation but not knowing you stepped in to lie with confidence. Some of you the lie you told would not make you to enter heaven at all just because you're supporting one politician or the other. There is nothing wrong having someone you're supporting but everything wrong when your principle is trampled upon, that truth now becomes secondary. E beru Olorun Oba fa.

IfnobeGod20:Having lived in the US for about 40 years, having gone through the US Federal Court and justice system myself, knowing many Nigerians who have gone through the judicial system for various, and also having a vast knowledge of the judicial system especially the Federal judiciary system. I can tell you categorically that having a probable cause is not enough to convict anyone in a Federal court of law where the FBI will have to present their case. Many people have been suspected of crimes but you have to be able to prove the case is court. In fact Tinubu was NEVER CHARGED NOR ARRESTED FOR ANY DRUG CRIME. That is the minimum for anyone to be considered a drug baron. He was barely suspected of knowing people involved in drug trade. If you want to call someone a drug baron, you should at the minimum have record of them being arrested and charged to a court of law for drugs. Tinubu had none. I had at least 3 friends back in the days who were into drug dealing while i was in college but I have never seen drug with my naked eyes except for on TV. Can you now say I'm a drug Baron just because I had friends who were into drugs or because I had my case with the US govt that has nothing to do with drugs but involved money? The answer is a complete NO. According to the US laws , Tinubu is clean because he has never been charged, arrested or convicted of any crime. You might not like that, but those are the facts. Lastly and most important, the FBI or any Federal agency will NEVER EVER let anyone walk away free without charges and arrest if they have any good evidence on such person as being involved in the drug trade. Even if you give up 100 Billion dollars, as long as they can prove that the money are proceeds of drug trade, they will take the money and still make sure that the person still get tried and sent to prison for a long time. |

IfnobeGod20:. Learn to state your case without insults. I'm NOT a Tinubu fan or supporter BUT I hate it when people spread LIES about others! From my post, you can clearly see that I'm an older person here based on my 1989 reference to General Manuel Antonio Noriega's arrest by United States forces in Panama for trial in the United States for being a drug baron. I don't need anything from Tinubu as I'm a very comfortable man, BUT like I said, I have a complete revulsion towards liars and criminal defamers. You are telling me that I got my info from Festus Keyamo, that's disrespectful of you! There's also a lot of photoshopped and fabricated documents flying around on the Internet. There are devices that will make you easily detect fabricated documents. However, I will fully read the attached dockets you have here. I CLEARLY stated my points here WITHOUT insulting you in my FIRST post so why make vile insults here? Kilode gan?! Superior argument and logic is what wins anyday NOT this kind of sarcastic overreactions. Last but NOT least, I affirm again that 1.6 million USD was returned to Bola Tinubu's United States bank accounts by the U.S. government after the 460,000 USD was deducted in 1993. That's my inference about this situation. If he was a drug baron, he clearly would have been kicked into jail. That's the thrust of my post. Period. |
